News and commentary for Monday, 20 May, 2023.

News, commentary, and an extended look back at the major events of the week ending Saturday, 18 May, 2024...

...where massive solar flares may just be a harbinger of turmoil to come.

Why was Messiah Yeshua “delivered up” and then “raised”?



Is Yahweh “obligated” to us?



What is the one thing on which Jews and Christians agree?



Is the apostle Paul teaching his congregation against circumcision of the flesh? Is “circumcision of the heart” a concept exclusive to the New Testament?



This teaching is particularly challenging for the teacher and for the listener/disciple because of how the apostle Paul chose to word his thoughts in this letter to the beloved, set-apart ones in Rome.



Taking us into Romans, chapters 4 and 5, Rabbi Steve Berkson brings clarity to this problematic text through context (who is speaking, to whom is the speaking directed, when, why and where), redefining terminology (circumcision/uncircumcision to covenanted/not covenanted), and by moving slowly through the text, not glossing over any phrase or passage.

In this teaching, Dr Hollisa Alewine shares some very basic yet important hermeneutic principles, which will encourage us on how to dig deeper into His WORD and not misinterpret the true meaning of the text.

Parsha "Emor" (Leviticus chapters 21 through 24) continues the theme of "holiness" - but this time for a group of people that many 'christians' would now see as irrelevant. After all, we have new 'priests' today, and the sons of Aaron seem to have been displaced centuries ago.



And, besides, with the world melting down, and at the brink of civil and world war to boot, what difference does it make?



The Erev Shabbat reading:

The continuing theme of Kedoshim is to "be set apart." Emor comes next.



And the kohenim, or priests, were not only to be "set apart" themselves, but to teach what that means, and were held to a "higher standard" as well.



Bitterly ironic, however, and especially now, is that what replaced the priests of YHVH were ultimately a pagan imitation, where mandated marriage to virgins was turned on its head, to mandated celibacy - except for what Yahuah made clear was abomination.



Arguably, what has happened since should be no surprise. But it will still be denied.

The combined two-part teaching is here:

…& Trading a Wooden Yoke for an Iron Yoke

(https://www.HisWordHeals.com/blog to listen to this entire message) Today’s message started to formulate about the 7th day of unleavened bread this past week. First I’m going to outline the progression of this message, then I will expound on all of these points. 1) The Shavuot wave offering of two leavened loaves of bread could represent the 2 houses of Israel, YHWH’s two sons as a wheat harvest firstfruits offering. 2) YHWH says Israel and Ephraim are His first born sons in Ex 4:22 and Jer 31:9, hence they/we are also a first born firstfruits offering that He has redeemed with the Blood of His Passover Lamb. 3) Backing up from Jer 31:9 for context I started reading in Jer 27 about Hananiah’s false prophecy of deliverance from the wooden yoke of Babylon. To which Jeremiah calls him a false prophet leading people who listen to him into a false sense of deliverance and causing them to fight against the judgement of the wooden yoke of Babylon which is actually judgement from Yah for their wickedness. Through Jeremiah YHWH tells them that the broken wooden yoke of Babylon would be replaced with an iron yoke! So we came full circle from our thief in the night admonition about the false prophets of the take back America Christian Nationalist movement to what we believe is truly a message for us today which was delivered by Jeremiah thousands of years ago. All the scriptures for this message came together just a day or two BEFORE the free speech quashing bill HR 6090 passed from the House of Representatives to the Senate and BEFORE WE WERE EVEN AWARE OF THIS PROPOSED BILL! The conservative take back America, maga, Zionist, Christian Nationalist, secure our border, conservative movement in the US which appears to be trying to remove the yoke of tyranny and corruption, may actually be succeeding in breaking the wooden yoke of Babylon only to have it replaced with a soon to come iron yoke!!!
